Summary
RATING: G for General Audiences
Starring Jim Carrey
Under the Sea 3D, a new IMAX adventure, transports moviegoers to some of the most exotic and isolated undersea locations on Earth, including Southern Australia, New Guinea and others in the Indo-Pacific region, allowing them to experience face-to-face encounters with some of the most mysterious and stunning creatures of the sea. It offers a uniquely inspirational and entertaining way to explore the beauty and natural wonder of the oceans, as well as the impact of global climate change. In IMAX 3D, the images will literally leap off the screen and float around the theatre, putting the audience in the movie. (Warner Bros.)

Christian Science Monitor Peter Rainer
There's plenty for us to feast on in Under the Sea 3D without drawing a single drop of blood. If you have small children, you'd be crazy not to take them to this film.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Glenn Whipp
Practice has delivered something close to perfection as this new film offers a startling experience that takes you down into the Great Barrier Reef without the expense, hypothermia or oxygen tanks.
Read Full Review >Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern
One of the best of the genre. If it doesn't serve oysters, per se, this submarine wonder offers marvels in abundance.
Read Full Review >Premiere Krista Soriano
We actually had the urge to dodge the sea snakes swimming right at us.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Stephen Holden
A visually enthralling 40-minute tour of the southwestern Pacific depths.
Read Full Review >New York Post Lou Lumenick
Jim Carrey mostly plays it straight as the narrator. The 3-D effects are uncanny; much of the audience ducked when sea snakes lunged at it. You can't get that on your TV set. Yet.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Wesley Morris
It's all a treat to behold, and, at least where the turtle and the jellyfish are concerned, it's transcendently beautiful, too. I just wish there was more of it.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
As dazzling as they come, a visual pageant of strange undersea creatures hunting and scavenging and floating across the screen.
Read Full Review >Chicago Tribune Michael Esposito
In addition to the romantic music for the cuttlefish courtship, the several musical selections are a step above the usual IMAX fare.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Adam Markovitz
Offers up dazzling ocean creatures in calmly shifting scenes that could double as the world's most expensive screensaver.
Read Full Review >Philadelphia Inquirer Steven Rea
The footage is spectacular, the colors electric, the life aquatic trippier than anything you'll see in even the most wildly imaginative animated fare.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Jennie Punter
Like its predecessors, Under the Sea is family-friendly viewing -- the great white shark swims by, as opposed to tearing prey to shreds. Its goal is to show biodiversity and offer information on how reefs grow, reminding us of threats to these environments.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Reyhan Harmanci
Seems more appropriate for a science museum than the Metreon, but that's not the film's problem. The problem is that oceanic movies in actual science museums are far more interesting and nuanced than this documentary.

Daniel G gave it an8:
The 3d aspect of cinema is still primitive, come to think of it, many aspects are. This movie however, does not require 3d viewing for the audience to feel completely immersed by the underwater journey. Warner Bros. surprised me with a useful documentary, showing me more biodiversity exists than I previously could imagine.
